We’ve helped countless franchisees in the UK launch profitable businesses. Our tools, processes and unparalleled support have helped our franchisees in the UK build and grow their businesses. You always have the support of the Head Office team and our wider network of fellow franchisees around the globe for guidance and help.
We are an active Corporate Member of The Tutors’ Association, working closely with them to further the tutoring profession and standards in the UK. We are very proud that 2 out of the 29 National Tutoring Programme (NTP) approved tuition partners are Tutor Doctor franchisees!
At Tutor Doctor, we believe that freedom shouldn’t come with unbearable risks. Our franchise owners, representing over 600 units in 13 countries, get the career freedom they crave without the enormous weight of going out on their own. In the UK, we started operations in 2008, and have grown to over 133 territories. A study conducted by the Sutton Trust found that over a third of pupils in the UK receive private tuition, and that nearly 60% of secondary school students in the UK have received private tuition at some point in their academic career.
According to research into the private tutoring market, carried out by Cairneagle on behalf of Supporting Education Group in January 2022, demand is projected to translate into strong growth in the next few years, and forecasts a compound annual growth rate of 7% for the tutoring market until 2025.
So, what sets Tutor Doctor apart?
- Our service is highly personalised. A one-size-fits-all strategy isn’t what we do. We carefully match tutors to students and have a creative approach tailored to each child.
- We are local. Our franchise owners build partnerships, support local schools and positively impact their local communities.
- More than tutoring. As a Tutor Doctor franchisee, no two days are ever the same. Your day is filled with diverse tasks that keep you engaged and connected with your community.

We’ve spent the past two decades perfecting a comprehensive onboarding process to help our franchisees get their businesses up and tutoring as quickly as possible. We go above and beyond to prepare our franchisees for business ownership, assigning each franchisee a Launch Support Specialist who works closely with you throughout your first year in all aspects of the business.
After your first year of business, you can choose the type of ongoing support that fits your needs best.

The Financial Info:
The Tutor Doctor franchise fee starts at £38,000, but if you have at least £13,500 in available liquid capital Tutor Doctor has a number of financial partners who can help you finance your investment; alternatively, you may qualify for the Government backed Business Start-Up Scheme which allows you to borrow up to £25,000 without investing any money of your own. (This figure doubles if the business has two Directors.)
Working from home your overheads will remain low as there are no premises, equipment, leases or inventory involved. Tutor Doctor will assist you in generating leads, and can also connect you to its lead generation partners who can help you get your business off the ground.
Expected returns after two years vary, however, Tutor Doctor insists that it is its priority to give you as much support as you need to turn your franchise into a profitable and successful business. Moreover, field research has revealed that franchisees following its proven model consistently have enjoyed high, and early returns, as well as compounding recurring revenues.

How to fight the back-to-school blues while preparing for the year ahead
With the next academic year right around the corner, it is best to get organised now to alleviate the stress and worries children around the country might be starting to feel. Here, the in-home and online tutoring company, Tutor Doctor, provides some top tips on ways students can hit the ground running and promote a positive attitude as they prepare to re-enter the classroom.
Clear out everything from last year that you no longer need
Starting with a fun one, the ‘clear out’! This is a great way to quickly remind yourself of everything you did last year and go over what you finished on before picking it up in the classroom when term starts. And of course, there will be plenty of things you no longer need such as old timetables and outdated planners. Carrying out a ‘pre-term clear out’ is a great way to destress and declutter your mind from the overhanging worries of the last academic year.
Get into good habits now
The summer break gives you the chance to have later nights and more relaxed mornings, but with school requiring a more structured routine, consider getting back into it before the first day back. That way, you minimise the risk of oversleeping and feeling tired on your return to the classroom and you start the term with a refreshed mindset that will guide you throughout the year.
Write down your SMART goals
Writing down your hopes and ambitions is a great way to physically visualise what you want from the school year. From small personal achievements, all the way to exam grades, having a visual aid to guide you and motivate you is the perfect way to start the year off with the right attitude. Set yourself some SMART goals to help you break down big targets into smaller attainable steps.
Use school resources and refamiliarize yourself with virtual learning environments
Having the summer break is ideal for detaching yourself and having an ‘academic detox’. But with the first day back right around the corner, it is time to refocus and get to grips with the online resources that you will utilise throughout the year. Checking timetables, looking over the virtual learning environment and catching up on any updates that have taken place throughout the summer are all ways that you can ease yourself back into the systems that are in place to help you get the most out of the year.
Get a head start
There is never any harm in looking over some materials you know will be coming up in the syllabus. Familiarising yourself with new textbooks and reading up on topics that you are excited about are great ways to prevent ‘new year stress’ and feeling overwhelmed when you are reintroduced to academic study. And if you are worried about anything coming up, consider getting a personal tutor to support you and give you the keen academic edge throughout the year.
Becky Ward, the Education Experience Specialist at Tutor Doctor, summarises, “There are so many ways to get excited about the year ahead with the start of term being a new beginning. While the back-to-school blues can be a worry, as you prepare to pass more significant academic milestones, starting off on the right foot is the perfect way to maintain a positive mindset and to minimise any concerns. So, as the new term draws closer, remember not to fret, and look forward to the amazing personal and academic opportunities that will be sure to come your way!”
